AN EPIC NOVEL BY D. ANN HALL
Ancient curses, forbidden love, and a world at stake
From the sun-scorched dunes of Egypt to the vaulted halls of the British Museum and the misted highands of Scotland, Samuel and Kesha are swept into a pulse-pounding hunt for truth. A gold talisman, fractured memories of a flame-haired lover, and an ancestral curse force them to confront reincarnated loyalties, brutal betrayals, and a power that refuses to remain buried.
The Rising Awakening fuses museum-grade Egyptology and archaeological puzzlework with lush, gothic vampire romance — blood, desire, and moral ambiguity collide across cinematic locations.
Fans of paranormal thrillers, archaeological adventure, and morally complex heroines will be gripped by its intellectual mysteries, erotic tension, and world-shaking stakes.

Haunted by forgotten memories and the ghostly allure of a red-haired beauty from his past, Samuel soon faces a chilling truth: a vampire named Kesha, bound to his own history, has emerged from the shadows. As they uncover an ancient power hidden beneath the sands of Egypt, they realise it could reshape the world—if it doesn’t destroy them first. From the endless deserts to the shadowy halls of the British Museum, join Samuel and Kesha on a journey into darkness, where twisted motives and deadly alliances lead to earth-shattering revelations.

"An unusual tale" – Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers’ Favorite
The Rising by D. Ann Hall is a mixture of genres and is quite violent in places. There is some strong language but nothing out of keeping with the narrative. This is a well-written book. The story flows smoothly and the characters are well-developed – you get to know them and understand where they come from. It’s a long and rather involved plot and requires your full attention or you’ll lose track. It begins with our main protagonist as a child, giving us some helpful background, and then progresses through his journey to discover the secrets. There’s plenty of family drama, and lots of twists and turns, providing us with a combination of the paranormal and sci-fi all rolled into one. An unusual tale, the action takes place across Egypt and at the British Museum, before coming to a natural conclusion. Recommended for those who enjoy paranormal stories and want something different to read.
